One of the key figures behind the Fallout franchise, Feargus Urquhart was the division director of the original 1997 adventure and was then promoted to designer and producer for Fallout 2, which was released in 1998. After that, Bethesda bought the rights to the brand and Urquhart instead co-founded Obsidian Entertainment – who had the opportunity to return to the series with Fallout: New Vegas in 2010.
Today, Microsoft owns both Bethesda and Obsidian Entertainment, and many fans have been asking for Obsidian to get the chance to make another Fallout game, which isn’t surprising given how great New Vegas was. But is Urquhart even interested?
When Gamepressure.com had the opportunity to speak with him about his journey with Fallout, they asked, among other things, if Obsidian Entertainment would be interested in returning to the radioactive wasteland. Urquhart replied:
“We’re not working on it right now, our plate is pretty full with Avowed, Grounded and Outer Worlds 2. I don’t know when we’re going to start talking about new games, maybe towards the end of next year. We just have to see what’s going on. That’s the best way to say it. There’s nothing in the plans, nothing on the piece of paper that says that. But I’ll stick to what I said. I would love to make another Fallout before I retire. I don’t know when that is, I don’t have a date of my retirement. It’s funny – you can say I’m already 52, or only 52. It’s one of those two, depending on the day . My hope is that’ll happen, but we’ll have to wait and see.”
It should be noted that “next year” in this context is actually this year as the editor points out that the interview was conducted in late 2022. That being said, would you like to see the original creator of Fallout make another game in the series?
